Digital services for meaningful social activities among the elderly in the Bothnia region.
The project develops and evaluates a custom application (for touch screen/tablet) – with a focus on promoting meaningful social activities among the elderly in the Bothnia region. The planned application will support the opportunities for older people living at home to maintain social networks, relationships, and activities.
In the co-creation of the application, existing evidence-based prototypes are further developed and tested in collaboration with end-users and stakeholders in three municipalities in the project region. An open innovation approach with strong user involvement is applied throughout the project from prototype to finished product.
At the end of the project, three different cases will be presented, where various customized versions of the digital solution have been developed according to the specific needs and conditions identified in the different municipalities. The target group of the project includes stakeholders in the field, including smaller to medium-sized regional companies that, at the end of the project, can introduce the digital solution into their product range. Regional companies on both sides of the Kvarken Strait are also involved in the operation during the project period.
